2  Who owns the zebra?


I broke this to day, i read it this morning, and been on it every single moment i could and finally i broke it  :D
If i add the time i put in to this i would say about 1.5 to 2 hours :D

I did NOT cheat, i did NOT search for the answer until i solved it, and that was to get the confirmation that i DID solve it.
Can you do this test with out cheating, and be HONEST with the answers ?
Try and take the time taken how long it took you to sove it  :D

After chatting with a friend at work about this, this isn't the original text of the riddle. It used to be "who owns the fish?" And not who drinks water or owns a horse.

The only thing I came up with is that I thought the Norweigan drank water. Didn't go any further than that. Where did you get this G6?

On a Swedish geek site where Swedish MIT students can post riddles, chemistry forms and a lot of other questions or answers. This riddle posted here is one of the answers to a question the graduates had to solve to graduate their class last semester.

I guess it was to hard for you guys to figure out, but then again, a female brain have proven to be working in more ways at the same time where guys brains dont  :2funny:

And the Norweigan is not the one who drinks water  ;)

 :2funny: This topic didnt quite turn out the way i thought it would, but really funny anyway  :D

I will post the answers to morrow if noone solved it by then.

Perhaps put some glow to this by saying that the winner with the correct answer will get a boob image  >:D

lmao, well my image of you would be shattered. No boobies for me. So I decided to cheat and went and looked it up. >:D

Here's the answer, and apparently there must be multiple answers if you think the Norwegian isn't the water drinker.
